In The Eyes Of A Son


    


When I was a child my mom was there
          With a gentle love and tender care
And as I grew she showed me the way
          Helping me make the best of each day
Without thought for herself she gave me
          Freedom to dream of what life could be
Though many times her heart I would break
          She loved me in spite of my mistake
As time moves forward, my kids are grown
          With children of their very own
I watch them grow as they've just begun
          I see it all with the eyes of a son
Because my mother gave me the chance
                    And leaving nothing to circumstance
To explore the world in my own way
          While giving of herself everyday
And because of all she gave to me
          I now am able to clearly see
In my children and their children too
          My mother's love now starting anew
And down the family tree will grow
          Love, that in me, my mother did sow
With a grateful heart I thank you, mom
          A big part of me you have become
If you ever wonder what your love has done
          The answer is here…
                                        …In the eyes of a son!
